Get: Irish Tweed Caps
In winter, your headpiece is an essential part of your outfits, and the truth is it doesn’t get better than an Irish tweed cap. This cap is everything you’ve ever wanted, but better – it’s made of 100% tweed, so it’s nice and warm, has a cotton lining that won’t cause you to sweat and feel wet throughout the day, and features a sleek design with a stiff brim that immediately makes you look more put together. You can wear it with casual parkas, trench coats, wool overcoats, and pretty much anything else. And the best part? On Gaelsong, you can get one for less than $50, a small investment that will keep you looking stylish for years to come.
Skip: Beanies
Don’t get us wrong, there’s nothing actually wrong with beanies, but we suggest skipping them for two reasons. Firstly, you most likely already have one in your collection, and it definitely doesn’t need a replacement, and secondly, there’s no reason to get yet another basic beanie when there are so many excellent options to choose from that will keep you just as warm and cozy yet much more put together.
Get: Leather Gloves
Have you ever heard the phrase “to fit like a glove”? That’s because your gloves should actually fit you perfectly and feel like a second skin, especially now in winter when the air is drier and colder than ever. A smartly-chosen pair of real leather gloves will always make a wiser financial decision than getting any knit mittens, and the truth is, if you don’t live in a particularly rugged area, there’s no reason to ruin your style with the latter. Over the course of a few seasons, leather gloves will stretch and mold into the perfect shape for your hands, so you won’t have to ever deal with gloves that restrict your movement again.
Skip: Blanket Scarves
Blanket scarves definitely had their moment, but it’s time to let them go and opt for more fitted accessories instead. They were once advertised as the perfect winter companion, an everything-in-one accessory that can serve as a scarf, blanket, pillow, and literally everything else you need it to be, but as we step into 2025, leave these bulky scarves in the past. However, if you’re a traveler who actually finds them useful, especially on those long and daunting winter flights, don’t rush to get rid of them ASAP – they might come in handy and keep you cozy when you’re visiting your family or going on a winter trip.
Get: Chunky Platform Boots
Now, here’s a fashion tip that you were probably never told – when it comes to winter shoes, the most important part is the platform. Sure, your leather Chelsea boots are probably great and make your legs look more elongated, but they can never compare with a pair of chunky platform shoes. The reason is quite simple: the higher the platform, the more it protects you from the snow and sleet. Keeping your feet warm and dry during these winter months should always be your number one priority.
